Trailer legs dropping on their own mid journey

Can someone please explain this to me.

Handle was still in its rest.

Push for low range…Pull for high range.
If between the two the handle will spin in neutral, and the legs are free to move downwards with vibration etc. They wont with every trailer, every time, but they can do so. So long as the handle is engaged in a gear, and then stowed, they cant move.

Cheers

I have also known legs to unwind if the cross bar becomes detached from one leg or the other.

Should the handle be stowed awaay in gear then?? I have always made a point of making sure its in neutral before i stow it so im not fighting against the gearbox to get the correct position to stow the handle and the gearbox isnt under tention the whole time.

Keep it in gear, so the legs are connected and therefore cant drop. Wind right up to top, but its fine to unwind a quarter turn to so, so there is no force needed to stow the handle.
No need for any force and the legs are as near the top as makes no odds.
